Early visitors to the island transcribed recitations of myth, battle address, and land description. Until now their poetic organization has remained unexplored. From a computationally assisted analysis, this book describes early use of meter and parallelism and speculates on manner of composition. It sheds light on a poetic style unanticipated for Polynesia and remarkable among world poetries. 410 0$aPacific Linguistics [PL] 606 $aPoetics 606 $aTahitian language 606 $aFolk poetry 610 $aOral Tradition. 610 $aPoetics. 610 $aPolynesian Languages and Literature. 615 0$aPoetics. 615 0$aTahitian language. 615 0$aFolk poetry. 676 $a800 700 $aMeyer$b David$01172675 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910825003803321 996 $aEarly Tahitian poetics$93916410 997 $aUNINA
